Synopsis
How to Make Bad a Little Better for Kids Experiencing Homelessness
Here in the United States, we're cultivating homelessness right. This iteration of homelessness-babies, toddlers, and young kids-doesn't get attention. But it's needed since these young ones may become homeless adults unless we intervene.
Making Bad a Little Better gives a glimpse into this world of family homelessness. For those curious, or for those who work with or want to work with this underserved population, this book will help you understand who these kids and parents are, and what can be done to make their lives at least a little better.
BONUS: Readers get links to several of my short videos of families sharing their stories of homelessness and what school means to them.
Most people know little about family homelessness, even though families in various homeless situations are everywhere. Even families are confused by the definition of homelessness.
- Without delving deep into social sciences, readers will learn how we ended up with millions of families in homelessness.
- Those working with homeless students in school will learn the basics, and get resources to further help.
- Champions making bad a little better get a shoutout.
- The importance of the federal McKinney-Vento Education for Homeless Children and Youth Act (EHCYA) is also explained.

About the Author
Diane Nilan, HEAR US founder/president and sole staff person, chronicles poverty, family homelessness and life along America's backroads. Nilan moved into a small camper in 2005 when she founded her nonprofit organization, HEAR US Inc. Her mission-give voice and visibility to the (now) 7 million+ children and youth living in cars and shelters, on the streets, or "doubled up" with other families. She has traveled over 500,000 miles of mostly backroads through 48 mainland states, and Hawaii, making dozens of films viewed by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Her work has earned recognition from a variety of organizations. Prior to HEAR US, Nilan ran shelters, worked on statewide (IL) and national advocacy campaigns, and collaborated with educators to improve awareness of and compliance with homeless education laws she helped pass. As of May 2023, she relocated to western North Carolina after living 50+ years in Illinois. HEAR US maintains its Illinois presence. Nilan continues to conduct presentations, film screenings and book talks; blogs and writes op-ed columns when she's not interviewing families/youth for her film projects.
